All right, so just to confirm the pole and the roadway that needs to be moved to add to the another one, correct?
01:33
It was like it's the crossing signal and also a street light, but it came off the base so there's wires exposed.

We were able to move the pole into the median here.
01:43
They're going to have to come retrieve it.

All right, but still just the traffic light, red, green, yellow, not the aluminum pole, metal pole with a light on top.

Yes, single traffic light, no aluminum.
01:53
I mean, there's a pool attached to it, but it's the crosswalk pole.

Okay, thank you.
